Mama Told Me

For Rev. Carol, who’s used the line a time or two, the Hotel Melanoma version of Three Dog Night’s “Mama Told Me”…

Want some saline ‘stead of water?
Yervoy by IV?
What's all these hazy answers they're givin' me?
This is the craziest Hotel that could ever be
Don't turn on the lights 'cause I don't wanna see

Mama told me not to sun
Mama told me not to sun
"That ain't the way to have fun, no"

Open up the window, let some air into this room
I think I'm almost croakin' from your spell of doom and gloom
And those statistics you're quotin' 'bout scare me half to death
Open up the window, doctor, let me catch my breath

Mama told me not to sun
Mama told me not to sun
"That ain't the way to have fun, son"
"That is the way to be done, son"

The rad chemo is blastin', someone’s fallin’ on the floor
I'm lookin' at my nurse aide - she's running out the door
I seen so many things I ain't never seen before
Don't know what it is - I don't want this C no more

Mama told me not to sun
Mama told me not to sun
She said, "That ain't the way to have fun, son"

"That ain't the way to have fun, no"
"That ain't the way to have fun, no"
"That ain't the way to have fun, son"
"That ain't the way to have fun, no"
"That is the way to be done, son"

"That ain't the way to have fun, no"
"That ain't the way to have fun, son"
"That ain't the way to have fun, no"
"That is the way to be done, son"
